GURUGRAM: A reply to an RTI query has shown that six out of 18 restaurants in Gurugram's Cyber Hub do not have licenses under Acts 335 and 336 the Haryana Municipal Act. For restaurants, one of the most important criteria for obtaining these licenses is a fire no objection certificate (NOC). The RTI, filed by social activist Harinder Dhingra, reached the public domain in December and gained prominence after the fire at Kamala Mills compound in Mumbai. Two restaurants in Cyber Hub were found to have been operating with expired licences. Like Mumbai, Gurugram also has poor fire safety norms. In April this year, the district fire department issued notices to 200 high rise commercial and residential buildings for not renewing their fire NOC. High rises in Gurugram are categorised as buildings over 15 metres in height. Over the years, numerous commercial structures and residential societies have come up in Gurugram. Taking into cognisance the abundant negligence, fire department officials have warned builders if they are found to be flouting safety norms.
